Food is political, food can be a form of activism, and food is art. I made this Black is Beautiful Cherry Clafoutis in reaction to the nationwide Black Lives Matters protests to highlight how just because something is a different color than what you're used to seeing, it's still inherently the same. 

This is still a delicious Cherry Clafoutis even thought the batter is a magnificent black color rather than the traditional golden white. Tastes the same. Just looks different.

Disney employs CHICKENS for their Mosquito Surveillance Program! They have sentinel chickens in coops all over the park. 

The US keeps millions of chickens in secret farms to make flu vaccines. But their eggs won't work for coronavirus

The government keeps secret prized chickens who lay life-saving eggs to make vaccines?! 82% of the flu vaccines distributed are made from eggs.

Where's the Vaccine?

via NPR Planet Money

Great listen from NPR Planet Money on how vaccines are made. In a "pandemic influenza outbreak you need 900,000 chicken eggs every single day for a six- to nine-month period of time to make the vaccine supply needed just for the United States."

@momentofsugar made a Tie-Dye Cherry Pie that confirms my theory that rainbow sprinkles make everything better. 

@halfbakedharvest shared this Fudgy Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pretzel Cake. Salty, creamy + peanutty, and heavy on the fudge sauce. 

Not baking, but hot damn. @sweetly_salted_berry's naturally colored Rainbow Dumplings is next level. If you're ambitious this recipe is on her blog.

If you're basic and lazy like me, get Mama Wong's Chinese Dumpling no recipe-recipe using store-bought wrappers and enjoy the giant talking chicken head.
